HOW WOULD AMERICA DO IF…

How would we make out as a nation in the next 8 years if we had a president who predictably wore a flag pin on his lapel but stood by as veterans benefits fell? What if we had one who talked about religion but avoided the real message of faiths (such as Christianity, Judaism etc.) which prioritize helping the neediest among us? How would America be doing if we had a president who regularly took care of himself with exercise and access to the country’s best health care but didn’t seem at all fazed by the fact that over 50 million Americans lack that level of support or often any health care at all? What if our president claimed to feel “compassion” for the economic hardship Americans faced while paying record gas prices but who would never consider passing a windfall profits tax on big oil, let alone cutting back on the subsidies that the oil industry now receives?
Answer; we’d get through 8 years of this okay. Haven't we already?

The Faux News Network Principles


A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
